Table d'hoters who have made the round of the _ B0-cent places will envy the employees of the Dock Department who have been privileged to take luncheon ‘afly on the Department's tug Manhattan.

The Comptroller refused to pay. The lucky lunch eaters were, among others, Deputy Commissioner Jack- son and Secretary Bleecker, who consumed twenty-five ments each, and Supt. Manly, who ate twenty-four. We think the Comptroller has been reprehensibly @bstinate in this matter. The better food a man eats the better nurtured he is and the better service he gives his employers for his salary.

POLICEMEN’S FORTUNES. The estate of S. F. B. Morse, inventor of the tele- graph, is now in process of distribution among his heirs. Tt has been thirty years in trust and during that time has shrunk from $524,000 to $340,000. What a pity a Policeman could not lave been one of the executors! A Wardman might have doubled it, a captain multiplied ft several times over and a chief expanded it into an es- tate of Astor proportions. ‘So at least we may infer from the list of fortunes secumulated by New York police officers printed in yes- * terday's World. The figures are exceedingly interesting. No, burial of talents by good and falchful servants there, but putting them out at interest to increase and mul- ly. . The average longth of service of a policeman who from patrolman to inspector is about twenty-four years. His salary for that period is about $48,000. Capt. Moynihan, dismissed last week, had expanded his salary Anto real estate possessions worth $750,000, while finding GDDODDHHHDOIDHHHD i) w) PROFESSORS OF “THE STANOARD OL UNIVERSITY OF CHIGAGO ~ BUG TOWN= QUARTERS AND HALVES GOOD GUE ® co} it ample all the while to fill the mouths of his fourteen children and buy them shoes. Capt. Thomas has halt ~ *@ million and various other captains fortunes of one or two hundred thousand. Inspector McLaughlin ranks well up toward the top, as inspectors should, with $800,- 000, just below the millionaires Byrnes and Devery. }, Martin with $300,000, Glennon with $200,000, Reynolds “swith $150,000. A wardman has superior ways and means | of learning about sources of supply. Altogether !t is an instructive list of substantial fortunes, most of them acquired in real estate. If these “thrifty operators were to form » Pollcemen's Real Es-| and Trust Company what a boon It would be to the} ‘widow ,and orphan left with a few thousands of life} Amsurance money! What a boon to heirs now so fro sduently left disappointed, as in the case of the Morse estate! VOTE QUOTATIONS _ Devery's votes cost him $ each, as against $10.65 bald by “Battery Dan" Finn, Competition was keener} jm the Ninth Assembly District than in the First and} accounts for the record price, Mr, Finn had some ap-} .Prehensions about the foreign vote in his district. Ho did not exactly know how the Greeks stood or what the Syrians wanted, and such apprehensions needed allaying. But he was not called on to fill any bins with coal or Provide veudeville entertainments and barge parties. Such luxurice come high. City viices are always dearer. How small by com- pariaon seer the rural market rates for votes in N. tional contests. Gen. Dudley used to get a whole “block of five’ for what Mr. Finn paid for one American wovereign’s suifracv, and the cost of securing a dozen votes at Devery prices would buy quite a colony in Indiana even now at the higher quotations there. “THIRTY-THREE'S” NEW DOOR, ‘The story of a bronze door: Cunning Venetian artif- Weers of the middle ages fashioned it, bringing to their task all the accomplishments of their art.

"—Philadelphia Press, TEACHING BLIND TO SEE. ‘That a certain portion of the blind may be taught to see is indicated by the striking success of Heller, of Vienna, says the Pittsburg Gazette. When brought to him three years ago. two Hungarian boys, aged seven and five years, could see nothing, but their eyes appeared to be normal. Their training began with looking at a bright disk in a dark chamber, They learned to distinguish this, and the younger boy, who has progressed more idly than the other, was then shown against the disk, then es and finaliy w: he was made to t the feeble impressions reaching the brain Attracting no notice before the unusual teachin e.

It Js frequently said that the young people of to-day read too many books. It 1s not difficult to belleve this when one remembers what strong types of intellectual greatness heve been developed through the thorough study of a very few of the masterpieces of lterature, says the Pittsburg Gazette. Lincoln in his boyhood had access to four books—the Bible, “Pilgrim's Progress," “Burns's Poems" and “Weems's Life of Washington.” He also memorized many of the chapters of the Bible that subsequently he seldom made at the bar or cn the stump a speech in which he did not quote from it. Ile early learned tn his professfonal life that to a public speaker the Bible ts*the mostyseful of books. Burns developed his fancy und imagination. Bunyan taught him how to use figurative language and Weems Inspired him with the noble spirit of Washington. Foreign readers of Ms Gettysburg speech and his second inaugural address asked: “Whence got this man his style, seeing he knows nothing of literature?" He got it from the English Bible and from Bunyan's “Pil- grim's Progress"—two books which represent rhythm, the idiom, the majesty and the power of the English language. BICHAT’S ONLY REGRET. One century ago died Xavier Bichat, the famous physician and anatomist, author of "L'Anatomle Generale.” He prob- ably dissected more human corpses than any other man In the world's history, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He established a record when he opened 62 bodies during one winter. He was not a vivisectionist, and was wont to say, “[ would rather dissect two dead people than kill one chicken.” ‘Of his nerve a tale Is told, When he lay on his deathbed he called his colleagues to him and said: “Dear friends, I am done, but what comforts me Is the fact that my eo is a remarkable one. I have had unusual symptoms for some days which I have analyzed.
